• Nose TFS time info

  How do I get the TFS time from a client I tried using the TFS object but all I could get was the time zone info of the server and not the actual server time. But, our requirement is not to block checkin completely but restrict it based on some rules as similar to other policies. The user should still have the option of overriding the policy!

• Aziir Code Coverage and switch statement don't work well together.

  Hello. I have discovered a little problem with code coverage. It seems that, if I write a function that uses a switch statement to test a string and with more than 6 branches, when I write a test for that method, although the test covers all of the code blocks, the code coverage engine shows 1 block as not beeing covered. The code is nicely colored in blue showing I tested all of the branches, but still. I have tried to use an integer for ...Show All

• Tariq Rahim Can't install in Vista Build 5384 (Beta 2) 64-bit

  I just installed Vista beta 2 on my AMD 64-bit x2 machine. Vista appears to be running find, but I'm not able to install Visual Studio 2005 Developer Edition for some reason.
